Lille, Slovan Bratislava, KI Klaksvik – the opponents Olimpija will face in the group stage of the conference league. Sports Director Goran Boromisa believes in
progress
to the knockout fights, and the captain of the Green-Whites , Timi Max Elšnik, is also optimistic.
“Olimpija will be playing in European competitions for the first time and we will do everything in our power to present ourselves in the best possible light. We are in a group where you have to respect your opponents, but at the same time dare to attack something more. Coming from one of Europe’s top leagues, France is the absolute favourite. Against them, I expect the biggest difference to be in the physics itself, as that’s what their league is known for. They have some world-class individuals,” is for

Timi Max Elšnik said in his introduction.
The Slovenian national team player continued.Slovan from Bratislava is well known to us. We played a game a few months ago during the summer preparation period and we already have a rough idea of what we can expect and what we are capable of against them. Klaksvik from the Faroe Islands may be far behind other European countries in terms of league and national team strength, but their players have more than proved in qualifying for European competitions that they can cause problems and beat teams from very high quality leagues. They will need to be taken as seriously as possible and not be treated as an outsider. The fact is that we will have to be at 100% every game if we want to get a positive result. Personally, I believe in the team and in scoring points. After six games, the line will be drawn and then we will see if it will be enough to qualify for the spring knockout rounds.“
